The EMAG LLC Open House is our customer appreciation day at our Farmington Hills, MI facility. On Wednesday, October 14, 2026, starting at 10:00 a.m., you’ll find our machines running live across turning, grinding, gear, ECM, and laser technologies, with vendor partners on hand and our laser lab and U.S. spindle repair area open for tours. After lunch, we premiere our ECM rifling machine, now in the United States – so customers across the U.S. and Canada can run test cuts and sample barrels here in Michigan rather than shipping parts overseas. The day closes with an Oktoberfest evening under the tent, with German food and beer, open to all guests. We look forward to welcoming you!
Live machining demos, the U.S. ECM rifling premiere, and an Oktoberfest evening in Farmington Hills, MI:
ECM Rifling Machine – consistent barrel profiles, now produced and tested in the U.S.
You’ll see our ECM rifling machine in the United States running live. Electrochemical machining shapes barrel rifling without tool contact, so there’s minimal tool wear and no heat-affected zone – every barrel holds the same profile, from the first part to the thousandth. Because the process is now available in Michigan, you can run test cuts and sample barrels here in North America instead of shipping parts overseas, shortening development cycles for customers across the U.S. and Canada. The machine and our team are ITAR compliant.
MSC 5 DUO – front-loading CNC lathe
The MSC 5 DUO features two spindles into one machine, so you can turn two chucked components in parallel and raise output without adding floor space. Its integrated 3-axis gantry system loads and unloads parts automatically, which removes manual handling and keeps cycle-times short and repeatable. Its split-bed design is the foundation of the machining quality: by mechanically isolating the two work areas, it greatly reduces vibration transfer, so both spindles hold consistent precision even in demanding production environments. You’ll see it running on the floor.
UG 400 – universal cylindrical grinding for several operations in a single setup
The UG Series has universal capability for external, internal, out-of-round, and face grinding, so parts move through fewer setups and hold tighter geometric relationships. That flexibility makes it a practical fit for shops and smaller batch sizes where part variety is high, and changeovers need to be quick. You get repeatable surface quality on demanding components without dedicating a separate machine to each operation. We’ll have it set up so you can watch the grinding process and discuss your own part requirements with our application engineers. More information
WPG 7 – productive OD grinding, automated for unattended running
The WPG 7 handles external cylindrical grinding of shaft-type parts with the precision your downstream assembly depends on. When paired with automation, you can load and unload without an operator at the machine – the path to longer unattended shifts and steadier throughput. Alongside it, our humanoid robot display shows where gear cutting and grinding is heading on the shop floor, with parts running live. Stop by to talk through if this is the right fit for your grinding needs.
G 375 H – profile gear grinding for high-quality gears
The G 375 H profile-grinds gears to the tight tolerances that quiet running and long service life demand, finishing gears that carry high loads in transmissions and drivetrains. It offers the perfect balance of versatility, precision and efficiency, making it a top choice for manufacturers of gears, rotors and screws. With its modular design, advanced technology and exceptional accuracy, this machine adapts to your production needs while delivering consistent, high-quality results. Bring your toughest gear and let’s talk tolerances.
EMAG Turning Solutions – twin-spindle chucked-part and shaft turning, ready for automation
Our turning lineup covers both chucked components and shafts in compact, automation-ready machines. The VL 3 DUO turns chucked parts on two spindles from a small footprint, so you get more parts per square meter of floor space: its pick-up spindles self-load, and it’s running with EMAG TrackMotion automation on our floor, moving parts between stations to form a linked, low-handling line for medium-to-high volumes.
Alongside it, the VT 2 turns shaft components — like pinions and rotor shafts — with two tool turrets working at once to cut cycle times, while vertical machining keeps long parts stable and chips falling clear for consistent surface quality. Both drop into existing lines and scale with automation when you're ready. Come see the part flow and compare each approach against your own production with our team.
K 300 - Horizontal Hobbing on EMAG KOEPFER
Eliminate additional machines and processes by using the multi-functional EMAG Koepfer K 300 CNC-Machine. Complete a variety of gear cutting processes – gear hobbing, soft and hard machining, skiving, high speed hobbing, radial hobbing, tangential hobbing, etc. – on this customizable machine configured to your manufacturing requirements. The machine’s automatic loading system, equipped with V-grippers, can hold workpieces up to 5 kg in weight.
Laser Lab with the ELC 6 – from feasibility trials to production-ready welds
Our laser lab is built around the ELC 6 laser welding machine, is set up for rapid prototyping and process validation, so you can prove out laser-welded components before committing to production tooling. Laser welding delivers a focused, controlled heat input for strong, precise seams with minimal distortion – well suited to demanding parts such as gear shafts, gears and differential assemblies.
The lab also goes beyond standard trials: where difficult materials or geometries call for it, induction-assisted heating preheats and controls local temperature to improve weld quality, reduce cracking risk, and achieve robust joints. Integrated ultrasonic testing then validates each weld non-destructively, with 100% seam and component evaluation that confirms internal quality without sectioning – and the same method scales directly into in-line production inspection. Our engineers work alongside you on your actual parts to optimize the welding and thermal strategy and define a clear path to scaling.
U.S. Spindle Repair – spindles rebuilt in Michigan, not shipped overseas
At our spindle repair area, you can see how we rebuild and test machine spindles here in the U.S. – cutting the downtime, costs and freight delays that come with sending units overseas. Our technicians repair spindles to OEM standards and test them before return, so the spindle that goes back into your machine performs the way it should. Faster turnaround means less idle equipment and more predictable production, and the service covers EMAG spindles as well as many other makes. Stop by to talk through a spindle that’s giving you trouble, or to plan preventive rebuilds before one fails. More Information

ECM rifling uses electrochemical machining to form the rifling inside gun barrels without tool contact, so there’s no tool wear and the profile stays consistent across high volumes. With the first machine now in Michigan, customers in the U.S. and Canada can run test cuts and sample barrels locally instead of shipping parts overseas, which shortens development time. The machine and our team are ITAR compliant. Learn more here
